Review by Papua Post

Album Review: D Frau Holle by Elisabeth Schnell Elisabeth Schnell’s D Frau Holle is a charming little gem that feels like a warm hug for kids and adults alike. Released under the Swiss label Top-Disc, this album dives into storytelling with a mix of music and narration, perfect for young ears or anyone who loves a good tale. The genres—Children's and Non-Music—are spot-on here, as it leans more into spoken word than traditional tunes. Adapted by Niklaus Haas, the album brings to life the classic story of Frau Holle in two parts: "D' Frau Holle 1. Täil" and "D' Frau Holle 2. Täil." And trust me, these tracks stick with you. Let’s start with “D’ Frau Holle 1. Täil.” This first part sets the stage beautifully, introducing listeners to the magical world of Frau Holle. What makes it memorable? It’s not just the voice acting—it’s how vividly the soundscape paints pictures in your mind. You can almost feel the crunch of leaves underfoot and hear birds chirping in the background. It’s simple but effective, pulling you right into the story without trying too hard. Then there’s “D’ Frau Holle 2. Täil,” which wraps things up in an unexpectedly satisfying way. Without giving spoilers, let’s just say this track delivers some real emotional weight. The pacing is slower, letting the listener soak in the lessons of kindness and hard work that are central to the tale. There’s something about the tone here—it’s comforting yet thought-provoking, like a bedtime story that lingers in your thoughts long after the lights go out. One thing I didn’t expect? How much I appreciated the lack of flashy production. In a world where everything seems overproduced, D Frau Holle keeps it refreshingly low-key. Sure, it might not appeal to everyone—especially those looking for catchy beats or sing-along melodies—but its charm lies in its authenticity. Reflecting on this album, I realized something kind of funny: it reminded me of sitting cross-legged on a classroom floor back in elementary school, listening to a teacher read aloud from a big illustrated book. That’s not a bad thing at all—it’s nostalgic in the best possible way. If you’re hunting for something wholesome, uniquely Swiss, and full of heart, give D Frau Holle a spin. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself daydreaming about talking animals and enchanted forests afterwards!
